2026 VISION & GOAL SETTING - IN PERSON
Join us for an intentional afternoon focused on clarity, direction, and alignment as we step into 2026 together.
SUMMER BOOK CLUB
Learn to Lead Yourself Well Through Heather Verity's The R Factor
LEARN TO LEAD YOURSELF WELL
At Xpand Your Limits, we believe there is far more within you than you realize. Growth happens when you step outside your comfort zone, lean into challenges, and choose to seek the edge of your potential.
This summer, we're diving into one of the most powerful principles you'll ever encounter: E + R = O
Event + Response = Outcome
It seems simple, but learning to truly live this principle can be a game changer. Life will bring challenges, setbacks, and adversity. The question isn't what happens to us—it's how we respond.
Join a community of growth-minded women for a free four-week book club experience featuring weekly reading, reflection exercises, a guided workbook, and live discussion calls. Together, we'll learn how to take ownership of our responses, lead ourselves well, and create better outcomes in every area of life.

THE DIVISIONS
This meet is non-sanctioned and open to ALL levels; our non-showcase meets (like this one) do not include weigh-in's like traditional powerlifting meets. Divisions are based on honest self-selection of lifter's experience level.
Many of our lifters have not competed in any lifting competition prior to lifting in an Xpand Your Limits, while others have competed in multiple high-level, sanctioned and/or elite events. Xpand Your Limits Meets are the perfect opportunity to step outside of your comfort zone, build confidence in competition, meet other women, inspire and cheer each other on, and compete for a cause - no matter your level.
Anyone under the age of 18 must have a legal guardian present.
Mighty & Mini: <14 years of age & any experience level (must have guardian present)
Teen: 13-17
Young Adult: 18-29
Adult: 30-44
Masters: 45-59
Golden: 60+
THE LIFTING MEET
This is a Paragraph Font
3 Main Lifts: Lifters will compete in squat, bench, and deadlift in a powerlifting meet-style manner.
3 Attempts: Each lifter will have 3 attempts at both lifts to reach their maximum lift on each movement
Total Score Combined: The highest lift of EACH lift will be combined for the scoring
All women of All Levels: We've had ages 7 to 72 years old and women lifting the bar to 500+lbs
FOR THE ONE
For the One is inspired by Luke 15—the story of leaving the ninety-nine to go after the one. At every XYL event, we partner with a local charity to ensure the strength built on the platform reaches beyond the room and into the life of someone who needs it. All the door fees goes directly to support that local charity.

OUR MISSION AT XYL
At Xpand Your Limits (XYL), our mission is to help women step beyond self-doubt and into who they were created to be through challenge, community, and intentional growth. We believe confidence is built through action, courage is developed outside of comfort, and real transformation happens through small, consistent commitments that compound over time. Through training, events, coaching, and shared experiences, XYL creates spaces where women learn to trust themselves, strengthen both body and mind, and pursue growth with clarity, faith, and purpose—one degree at a time.
